Yea, the Diebold machines are pretty easy to rip off. You can tamper with the smartcard to vote as many times as you like or do other tinkering to mess with vote totals on the local machines.
You can then - with a bit of social engineering - find out the regional server's phone number and login information and call in fake vote tallies to change regional information. Beyond that, I'm not sure exactly how the system is set up.
All of the above can be done without the knowledge of local polling people, but obviously if you had someone "on the inside," it would make the process significantly easier.
